Abstract:

Sexual development is a continual process that unfolds throughout one's life. Salient aspects of the
psychosocial dimensions of sexual development are described for each of the following stages: prenatal,
infancy, childhood, adolescence, and young to late adulthood. Common characteristics for each stage are
given along with a discussion of potential problems that may occur during particular stages. This overview of background information will assist the educational efforts related to this important aspect of human development at every age level. A list of resources is provided.
